In India, surface cleaning was usually done with plain water. But in the last decade people started using detergents, phenyl or soap-water to clean the surfaces occasionally. Among all the alternatives, phenyl got really popular with Indian consumers due to low pricing and easy availability. While branded surface cleaning products have been available in mainstream retail channels for many years, they still remain a niche as compared to these cheap unbranded substitutes of cleaning. Surface cleaner is a category of household cleaning agents comprising mainly of specialty chemicals that vary with the amount of dirt and the surface being cleaned. However, the surface cleaner market has emerged in the last few years because of the changing needs of Indian consumers. Most consumers' still use local and unbranded products; however the branded surface cleaner market is set to explode now. Multinational companies have shifted their attention and resources towards developing countries like India due to large consumer base. Surface cleaners have a very low penetration in India which in turn provides vast opportunities for these manufacturers. _x000D_
